GOC Weekly Instructional Update

News for the week of Monday, November 5

News & Updates

Mini 2 is well underway and we are rapidly approaching Interims. Interims for select GOC Mini 2 classes will be given on November 13. Please check the Interim schedule for your class(es)' Interim time. http://www.gwinnettonlinecampus.com/goc/interim-schedule/ . If you have any questions, please contact your department chair.

As we approach the midpoint of our term, please make sure that you are calling the parents of your struggling full-time and program students. Calls for students with D&F averages should be made every other week. Calls should also be made if a student's average drops significantly between call dates. And, as you know, please document everything about your phone calls to parents. Please loop Tinisha Parker or Lindsey Brown in on full-time student concerns and loop the local school site coordinators in on program student concerns.

The last day for Mini 2 tuition program students to drop classes is November 29. Please make sure and discuss the drop option with your students and notify your department chair prior to 11/29 of anyone who needs to be dropped. Again, this is only for tuition students.
